About me...

​

I strive to create realistic pieces in both clay and paper, realizing that perfection in nature is rare. 

​

For me, pinching little pots into fruits and vegetables is both meditative and gratifying even when the piece I have in mind takes on the shape of it's own and a pear becomes an avocado or an overly large apricot becomes a potato!

​

The manipulative nature of the beautiful crepe paper allows me to craft the stems, leaves and blossoms and, as in the clay, I can let loose and add tiny imperfections like bug bites or dry and withering leaf tips.

​

My work is inspired by fond memories of the abundant gardens of my parents and Grandmother and the heaps of vegetables I once grew in my own patch.  There's something very comforting in self-preservation and the knowledge that we are so fortunate to have so much.
